Sure. But you probably know that big tech companies like Microsoft and Google spies on their users using the operating system, and makes changes to those said operating systems in order to collect as much private data as possible.
Its a very big difference compared to using Linux. Sure, most of it is American companies. But you have a lot of choice in the Linux world. Its not the same. I think you know this? Otherwise you have a lot of good things to find out about. :)
There are entire sites dedicated to explaining why they dont like it, like https://nosystemd.org/
But yeah, basically its been replacing more and more separate tools with its own solution, in order to have better integration and one common pane of glass, so to speak. But it also means that it becomes a major target for exploits and bugs.
Gentoo and Void are indeed my favourite Linux distributions. “No systemd” remains my favourite filter on Distrowatch. Void is basically “NetBSD, but fast”. I’d recommend it.
You are aware that, unlike (e.g.) OpenBSD, Linux is (legally) an American product, right?

You have increasingly less choice in the Linux world though. Thank you, Lennart Poettering.
Heh, true. But even systemd is a choice, kind of. Even though it brings the number of distributions to maybe just a few.
I wanted to try these ones at some point, seems nice:
https://artixlinux.org/
https://voidlinux.org/
Wait what is the problem with systemd?
